It's the end of the world as we know it...

Holy hell.

So the world has gone upside down since I last posted.

I personally am not too terribly worried about myself getting coronavirus. I do worry about my parents and my uncle, who are getting up there, but generally healthy otherwise.

I am not quarantined, because I work at a grocery store. WHICH, by the way, WHAT IS WRONG WITH EVERYONE. People seem to be treating this like a blizzard. Why so much toilet paper? Coronavirus is respiratory. WHAT? Are you buying food? Soap? Because that's what you need.

Also, just get what you need. Think of others.

If what you are looking for is out of stock, please don't yell at the workers. Most of them have no control over what is ordered or what is shipped. Right now, our trucks are BANANAS. (Well, only partially actual bananas. But we're getting a fuckton of stuff to try and keep up with you.)

Wash your hands. ...were you not already doing that?? Gross.

If you're sick, STAY HOME.

We will be OK. We will get through this.

However.

Yesterday, seeing where after a week of lockdown in Italy has caused the waters in the canals of Venice to run clear and be full of fish, swans returning, it dawned on me.

Maybe this is happening to show us that WE are the virus. WE ARE THE PROBLEM.

Climate change. We ignore it. So, OK, here's a motherfucking plague to make you press pause and pay attention. Without our constant interference, the earth is healing itself. We are the problem.

I include myself in this.

We need to WAKE UP and make some major changes to take better care of our planet.

Stay safe, loves. And pay attention.
